SURVING IN BATUKARAS




Once you’ve had your fair share of Pangandaran beach, change things up by surfing in Batukaras. While not as wide or long as the Pangandaran coastlines, Batukaras offers a wholly different experience.

Famous as a sufer’s paradise. When you’re not surfing, even just swimming around is great in Batukaras. The coastline offers both tall waves and still waters, a beautiful and harmonious blend.

If you want to get a taste of the area’s surfing, you can rent one of Batukaras rather unique surf boards. The spongy material these ‘boards’ are made out of is more kind to the base of flip-flops, and rather than standing on them, they’re more commonly used to help you paddle back to shore.

Batukaras is popular with both local and international surfer, its primary appeal coming from its relatively smooth shore and small gulf. As a result, surfers don’t  need to paddle all the way out to the middle of the sea to catch a great wave.

There are numerous place for beginners to rent serfing gear, as well as plently of experienced instructors. These instructors teach you everything you need to know to get started surfing. Everyone from total newbies to veteran surfers will have plently to enjoy in the waters of Batukaras.

Legok pari is the favorite spot for most surfers, as it’s relatively safe and has medium height waves. For daring  professional surfers, though, Bulak bendak is unparalled. Here, the waves reach exceptional heights, creating long, tall walls of water. This particularspot can only be reached by boat.

Surfing isn’t the only thing batukaras has to offer. For thse more interested in dry land, there are several camping grounds and hiking trails to explore. Karang Nunggal, for example, is an isolated beach whith spectacular views, surrounded by striking, tall rocks.

Nothing compares to the long walks down the beach at sunset, sipping a cup of coffee at one of the stralls in the afternoon, spending a day watching your children build sand castle or simply lying down on the sand, bathing in sunbeams. Some call Batukaras “little bali”, for sfamiliar feel it offers with a little hint of adventure.

DO & DON’TS

  • Visit during November through April to see powerful yet serene waves.
  • When you’re not surfing, make time to visit Green Canyon, another famous tourist spot not far from batukaras.

The Southern Coast Of Gunung Kidul: The Riveting Natural Blend


Behind the desolate karst landscape of Mount Kidul lies the enchanting and hypnotizing southern coast. Don’t let the reefs fool you, this vast plane of white sand is well worth an exploration. There are also interesting stories behind the names of each of the coast’s beaches.

Take ngobaran beach, for istance. The name of one of the beaches also the souther coastline of Mount Kidul originated from the word kobong or kobar. According to statements from the locals, this was where Prabu Brawijaya V burned himself as a refusal to convert to Islam.

There are many versions of the story about the end of the story about the end of Majapahit at the hands of Prabu Brawijaya V, however. Some say that he achieved moksa (a state of liberation, salvation or emancipation of the soul) in Mount Lawu, while Darmu gandhul recorded that Brawijaya was already converted by Kalijogo. Each version holds its fair share of controversy, and none are unanimously accepted as true.

Not far from Ngobaran, only a few minutes’ walk, you can find Ngrenehan Beach. The coast is quite small, with a cliff on each side, and dozens of fishing boats scattered along the shore.

Next, there is Baron Beach. The sands that cover this area are of a darker shade similar to those on Perangtritis. This beach is the most accessible as it has been well-organized and well-known for quite some time, being that at one time it was the mascot of the area. Here, you can find a creek where the river streams off the cliff.

If you travel eastward by private vehicle, a smooth trail will lead you to the Kukup, Drini, and Krakal beaches, all lying in line. Kukup beach might look familiar, reminding you of Tanah Lot with a house situated offshore. These shores are not far from each other, making it easy to visit them all in one trip. They are all covered with the same uniquely textured and khaki-colored sand.

Farther east, you will find more beaches with their own unique beauties and quirks. (again, trying not to depict the beaches negatively. ‘Unique’ and ‘quirky’ are places that people are curious enough to visit, ‘flawed’ is pushing it). Take Wediombo beach, for example. The shore of this beach is particularly wide, which is appropriate given that its name comes from the words Wedi (sand) and Ombo (broad).



Once you’ve reached Wediombo, you shouldn’t leave before paying a visit to Siung Beach. This beachnis famous amongst rock climbers for it 250 climbing trails, which range from light and easy to incredibly strenuous and challenging. In 2005, this beach hosted a gathering of rock climbers from all over Asia for a special event.


One of the most famous climbing tracks is the seahorse track. In addition to its high level high level of complexity, it is located face to face with the southern ocean. As you might imagine, a single mistake can put you in a very perilous position. At the top of the cliff sits a reef shaped like a seahorse, from which this track gets its well-known nickname.
There are plenty of other beaches in the area that are also worth visiting, including Drini Beach, Indrayani Beach, and Sundak Beach, just to name a few.
Unfortunarely, you’ll have to drive your own vehicle to visit these beaches, as public transportation will only tak ou as far Baron Beach from Wonosari.

DO & DON’TS

  • Bring along some sunscreen when you’re visiting during the day.
  • Keep from littering, especially because some of the beaches are untouched, with no one managing the area.
  • Some of the beaches don’t have food stalls, so be sure to pack some of your own food just in case!

Mount Bromo, The Exotic Giant Caldera



It is said that Mount Bromo is the mascot of East Java. Your visit to this province would not be complete without setting foot on this province would not be complete without setting foot on this giant desert. Part of Bromo Tengger Semeru national Park, this mountain houses a wondrous 5,250 hectare desert, which rests 2,392 meters above sea level.


Named after Brahma, one of the Hindu gods, Mount Bromo is still an active volcano. Even though there are larger volcanoes in Indonesia, this one in particular is surrounded by spectacular and dramatic scenery. The extraordinary beauty is known to leave visitors awestruck.
Tourist flock to the viewpoint atop Mount Penanjakan, 2,770 meters above sea level, to witness the famous Mount Bromo sunrise. The view is indescribable. The visitors stand ready, waiting to capture the moment on their cameras as it rises before their eyes. From this distance, you  can also see façade of Mount Semeru, puffing out smokes as the sun begins its ascent.

The scenery isn’t all that Mount Bromo has to offer, though. The history and culture of the local Tengger tribe are uniquely  engaging as well. This tribe believes that Mount Bromo was the site at which a prince once sacrificed his life for his family. Once a year later, people of Tengger hold a festival called Yadnya Kasada or Kasodo, during which they bring forth vegetable, chicken and money, and throw them into volcanic crater as an offering to their gods.

Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park covers 800sq. km this area. This park is the largest volcano in East Java Province. It’s an otherworldly experience to see the smoke billowing up from Mount Semeru, another active volcano in the area, situated 3,676 meters above sea level.
The park’s caldera is also the biggest on the island of Java, with a vast expanse of barren desert stretching as wide as 10 sq. km. within this sea of sand are seven eruptive centers on two crossing tracks from east to west, and northeast to northwest. Mount Bromo emerged from the latter track, and to this day is still an active volcano that can erupt at any time, threatening to the lives of the local people.

The sandy area of tengger has been conserved since 1919. It is believed to be the only volcanic conservation area in Indonesia, and even the world, that has coastal sand at 2,000 meters above sea level. There are several mountains within the Bromo caldera, including: Mount Watangan (2,661 m above sea level), Mount Batok (2,470 m above sea level), Mount Kursi (2,581 m above sea level), and Mount Widadaren (2,650 m above sea level).
From Surabaya, there are four available routes through which to reach bromo tengger Semeru National Park. You can depart from Malang, Pasuruan, tongas-Probolinggo, or Lumajang.

DO’S & DON’TS
  • The temperature on Mount Bromo is quite chilly, so bring a jacket, gloves, and a hat, or any other sort of head covering. After the sunrise, however, the weather can shift quite rapidly into a warmer temperature.
  • The path from Pananjakan to the Sea of Sand is quite steep, so it is strongly recommended that you don’t drive a 4-wheel-drive to this area. You can, however, ride a horse, go on foot, or rent 1 4-wheel-drive-capable vehicle from a tour guide as alternate means of transportation.
  • When you are renting or purchasing something, remember to haggle!
  • The sun rises between 5:00 and 6:00 in the morning, assuming the sky is clear, so leave early. For example, if you are staying in Malang, you should depart by 3:00 at the latest.
  • The best time to see the sunrise is between April and October.
  • Don’t forget to pack some food when you hike up to see the sunrise.
